STAND UP PADDLESURFING

This is the latest trend in watersports and is a fantastic alternative when the wind is too light. It involves a longboard (11ft) and a paddle. On flat water one can paddle around exploring and getting great exercise. On waves one can surf even the smallest ripple in true old school style!

SURFING

Officially, we do not deal with surfing however, as we are in the hobby of surfing, and if you are a travelling surfer with your own board you may want to enquire with us about conditions and surfspots. We can also organize boat transport depending on availability. The season for decent sized waves (2ft - 4ft) is from April - Sept. There is also a good spot for those that would like to learn how to surf or who need practice.
